Paint Your Own Tote Bag Class

A relaxed, beginner-friendly painting session where you'll create a one-of-a-kind tote bag to take home



2 hours

Class size 1 to 20 (public classes), 12 to 30
  $55 (Afterpay & PayPal Pay in 4 available)

Settle in for a couple of relaxed hours turning a plain tote bag into something completely your own. Whether you paint freehand or work from a template, this session is about slowing down, getting a little paint on your hands, and enjoying the process - no art background required.
Here's what to expect:
  • A warm welcome and a quick rundown of the materials and techniques, so you feel confident from the start.
  • Your own blank tote bag, plus a full range of fabric paints and brushes to work with.
  • The freedom to paint your own design or use one of the templates on hand if you'd rather have a starting point.
  • A cuppa and something sweet while you create - tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits included.
  • Plenty of time to chat with fellow attendees or simply enjoy some quiet, creative headspace.
  • A finished tote bag you designed yourself, ready to carry home and actually use.
This is a genuinely social, unpressured session, perfect if it's your first time picking up a paintbrush or if you just want an excuse to make space for yourself in a busy week.
What you'll get
A completed, hand-painted tote bag that you designed and created yourself.
Knowledge required
This class is beginner-friendly and open to all skill levels.
What to bring
Just yourselves! Everything else is provided.

FAQ

Do I need any painting experience?
Not at all - this session is designed for complete beginners as well as anyone who paints regularly. You'll get guidance throughout.
Can I design my own artwork, or do I have to follow a template?
Both options are available. You're welcome to paint completely freehand, or use one of the templates provided if you'd like a starting point.
What should I wear?
Fabric paint can splash, so we'd recommend wearing something you don't mind getting a little messy, just in case.

Is this suitable for a group or a solo visit?
Either! It's a lovely activity to do with a friend, or on your own if you're keen to meet some new people in the area.
Will my tote bag be dry and ready to take home the same day?
Your design should be mostly touch-dry by the end of the session, though we'd recommend letting it fully cure for 48 hours before washing and/or use.

Hi, I'm Lauren - the person behind Oodle & Ink Studio!
Art and crafts has always been my thing - if you know me, you'll know I'm rarely without a project on the go. I started Oodle & Ink Studio because I wanted to create a space where people in Canberra could slow down, get their hands into something creative, and meet a few new people along the way. No pressure, no "doing it right" - just a relaxed couple of hours making something together.
I'm based in Denman Prospect, and my first workshop, Paint Your Own Tote Bag, is exactly the kind of thing I wish existed when I first moved here - an easy, welcoming way to try something new without needing any experience.
Come say hello - I'd love to have you at a workshop soon :)
